Who is Joel Pinckheard ?

I am Irish (by way of Belgium and England) currently living in Barcelona.
I have gone by the username pincky since college and am a typical geek
in that I like computers, read fantasy and science fiction, do Tae Kwan Do
and generally seem to match the
stereotype
in the Jargon File.

Workwise I did various things - ranging from Oracle DBA to Java developer
to webmaster - before being drafted into sys admin several years ago.
Past employeers include Motorola,
IONA and
Motornet.ie. After moving to Barcelona in
late 2001 I worked for a
consultancy company and spent a year
onsite
with an online stockbroker as a system
administrator. In December of 2003 I left that job and since then I have been
working for Intermón Oxfam.
